Animals employed in the tourist trade are having a terrible time. Starving elephants and roaming monkey hordes in Thailand. Seagull muggings here in the UK. There'll be lions and gibbonry roaming Regents Park by Summer.

Went for a walk along the canal yesterday, near my house, fairly urban area. And saw a heron gliding about the canal, looking pretty good for a heron. I've never seen one along this stretch before, so can't help thinking that the relative lack of human beings has encouraged it out. Which I think is broadly a good thing

My girlfriend and I moved across and then out of London and our paths never crossed. 8 years later I'd had a kid and felt like I'd entered a new phase where friendships gain importance as they become fewer in number. Eventually, we ended up meeting at a pub off Fleet Street for drinks arranged by mutuals and bygones were allowed to be bygones. We're still mates now of course. I Whatsapped him last night and learnt that he thinks he had COVID and just got out of quarantine.
I've been in contact with quite a few lapsed friends lately. Feels a little like we're all putting our affairs in order, just in case.

some more observations:
- the woodpecker kind of sound that traffic lights make when they are green and signal the road is safe to cross sound so loud when there is less noise around. i stood next to one yesterday night, one i have passed a million times and i never noticed before how loud it makes the TOC TOC TOC TOC sound now that there were no cars around, no sirens, no people.
- the sky is empty. there are no chemtrails any more. it's something you never think of but today i was laying in the grass, looked up and noticed a single air plane drawing a white line in the sky, i realized it had been the first one i've seen for a long time. the sky is full of it normally.

yeah, even the most mundane TV commercial with a group of friends hanging to at their backyard party or something, so weird to actually notice that as odd. ad agencies and production companies are having a challenging time developing new commercials, so we'll probably see this pre-virus marketing still lingering for awhile.

You don't do that by default? I've always talked to myself. Out loud. I do it without realising I'm doing it and have to make a conscious effort not to do it.
